Many scholars advocate use of the term '''[[Hebrew Bible]]''' as a neutral substitute in English to be preferred in academic writing over [[Old Testament]], which alludes to the Christian doctrine of [[supersessionism]], and [[Tanakh]], the common [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] acronym which may be unfamiliar in other languages.

This is one of a series of categories for articles relating to matters in those [[books of the Bible]] which both [[Jews]] and [[Christianity|Christians]] recognise as [[Biblical canon|canonical]]. For the purposes of [[Wikipedia:Categorization|Wikipedia categories]], '''Hebrew Bible''' refers only to those books in the [[Judaism|Jewish]] '''Tanakh''', which is the same as the [[Protestantism|Protestant]] '''Old Testament'''. In the case of categories where there are articles about similar matters in the [[deuterocanonical books]] which [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]] and [[Orthodox Christianity|Orthodox]] churches include in the Bible, there should be a corresponding head category described as "Old Testament". Such articles should be categorised under "Old Testament Apocrypha".
